Chapter 142 The Rabbit Bites
Chapter 142 The Rabbit Bites
Lying on the snow was a huge rabbit covered in blood. The rabbit was entirely white, with a single horn on its forehead; if it weren't for the obvious bloodstains, Su Luo and the others would have had difficulty distinguishing it from the snow. The rabbit was dead, but its blood-red pupils remained open, as if it were filled with resentment and malice, as if it were harboring some deep-seated grievance.
Feng Xiyue gasped, "A rabbit!"
Song Qiao's face was grim because he couldn't smell any scent from the rabbits at all!
When he looked closely, he realized the reason: "It's the Xuan-Xuan Ice Rabbit!"
He had seen the illustrated guide to the monsters of the Cloud Realm, and that's why he remembered this monster!
The group was stunned. "Mystic Ice Rabbit?"
This was the first time they had ever heard of such a monster!
"This...this is a unique demonic beast found only in the Xuanbing Realm. It is entirely white and usually likes to sleep in the snow, blending seamlessly with it, so its body is always covered in the smell of snow...ordinary people can't detect it at all. It only wakes up at night to hunt for food..."
That's why he couldn't smell the Xuanbing Rabbit!
Chu Wenqing immediately exclaimed, "Holy crap! I remember now! Not long ago, I almost tripped in the snow. I thought I had kicked a rock, but it turned out to be this big rabbit!"
Su Luo then remembered that Chu Wenqing had indeed almost fallen. It seemed that the Xuanbing Rabbit and the snow had become one, so no one knew that there was a rabbit hidden in the snow!
They are currently surrounded by thick snow, and if the rabbit can hide in the snow, it will be a real problem!
Su Luo immediately said to Song Qiao, "What other habits and characteristics does this Xuanbing Rabbit have? Please continue."
Song Qiao pursed his lips and said, "Don't be fooled by their cute appearance. They are actually quite ferocious. They are carnivorous and are masters of ganging up on their prey!"
As soon as Song Qiao finished speaking, everyone's expression changed drastically.
In other words, these rabbits eat meat! And each time they appear, it's not just one or two, but countless ones!
Almost simultaneously, screams and cries of pain erupted from all around.
"Ouch, that hurts! Something bit me!"
"What is that?!"
"It hurts so much!! Senior brother, save me!"
"That thing is even glowing red! Damn, it's so fast! It's gone over there!"
"Set off some illuminating fireworks! Get a clear look at what it is!"
The people from the three major sects were in complete chaos, because they belatedly realized that they were surrounded by dense red lights. Those red lights shone with a cold light in the dark night, making people feel cold.
Hearing the calls from many of his fellow disciples, Bai Jinyan's smile vanished. He turned and left, saying, "Excuse me, I'll be going now!"
After taking a few steps, Bai Jinyan suddenly stopped again, then tossed a magical artifact to Feng Xiyue, who caught it in a fluster. "What?"
"A protective magic item, which can be used when necessary."
After saying that, Bai Jinyan gave her a deep look, added "Be careful" and left without looking back.
"???"
Feng Xiyue held the magic weapon, blinked, and after thinking for a while, finally realized what it meant.
So, is this guy worried about her? Why? Didn't he already hate her?
However, Feng Xiyue didn't have time to think much before another rabbit darted out to attack. Immediately, a strange fire appeared at her fingertips, causing the Xuanbing Rabbit to squeak and scream.
Chu Wenqing and Song Qiao were both busy dealing with the Xuanbing Rabbit that had sprung out of the darkness, and had no time to attend to anything else.
Because of the blood-red jade bracelet protecting her, Su Luo was the most relaxed of the four. As she threw the demon-scorching stones around the tent, she shouted, "Put on the protective talismans!"
The darkness made movement extremely difficult! She needed to ensure she could see clearly from her surroundings!
Chu Wenqing and the other three immediately did as instructed.
In a corner where no one was watching, a Xuanbing Rabbit silently pounced on Su Luo, but before it could even reach the protective range of the blood-red jade bracelet, a sharp claw appeared from the darkness and slammed the Xuanbing Rabbit to the ground.
"squeak!
Su Luo sensed the movement behind her and turned around, only to find that there were quite a few Xuanbing Rabbits lying haphazardly on the snow. These rabbits were not dead, but rather unconscious on the ground, as if they had been knocked unconscious by something.
"?" What's going on?
Su Luo narrowed her eyes, looking around hesitantly, but saw nothing, so she had to suppress her doubts for now.
Suddenly, a loud "bang" rang out from somewhere, and the dark sky lit up with dazzling fireworks, their vibrant colors creating a breathtaking spectacle against the night sky. At the same time, the fireworks instantly illuminated everything below.
The brightness of the fireworks was fleeting, but even so, everyone was finally able to see their surroundings clearly.
It turned out that they were surrounded by a dense swarm of rabbits!
These rabbits squatted on the snow, their bodies pure white, their eyes bloodshot, their mouths moving erratically, revealing sharp teeth. Some of them were chewing on something, blood dripping from their mouths, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.
"It was a rabbit! A rabbit attacked us!"
"The rabbits are biting people! No! They're eating people!"
"Are even the rabbits in the Mystic Ice Realm this ferocious?!"
The Myriad Swords Sect.
Gu Changhuai had just killed a Xuanbing Rabbit with a single sword strike, saving Ning Wanshuang from a possible sneak attack.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, are you alright?"
Ning Wanshuang touched her right hand with trembling hands and shook her head. "I...I'm fine...Thank you for your help, Senior Brother Gu!"
Ning Wanshuang expressed her sincere gratitude.
Just now, when she was bored, she saw a snow-white and cute rabbit squatting in the snow and quietly watching her. On a whim, she reached out to touch it, but the rabbit suddenly turned ferocious, opened its mouth, and showed its sharp teeth to bite her hand!
At the critical moment, Gu Changhuai drew his sword and saved her in time! What a close call! Her hand was almost bitten off!
Thinking of this, Ning Wanshuang felt not only lingering fear but also a touch of regret.
The world of cultivation novels is fraught with danger. Even as the female protagonist, she could get hurt at any moment! She... misses the real world a little. At least in the real world, she never has to worry about safety!
Many female disciples of Wanjian Sect and Shuqiu Pavilion were deceived by the cute appearance of the suddenly appearing Xuanbing Rabbit and carelessly approached it. As a result, they were bitten to varying degrees. Some only had their skin scratched, while others had a large piece of flesh torn off, leaving them covered in blood!
Tears welled in their eyes from the pain. They clutched their wounds and stared at their surroundings, looking on with a sense of unease and paranoia.
There's no other reason than that there are just too many rabbits! They're everywhere! And they're incredibly fast, suddenly darting out of the darkness to ambush you—it's impossible to defend against them!
Seeing that Ning Wanshuang was alright, Gu Changhuai immediately turned to help the other disciples. However, the rabbits seemed endless, and disciples kept getting injured. Even Bai Xun and Du Nianfu suffered minor injuries.
This can't go on!
